Abstract
This study was performed to assess the effects of open-lung positive end-expiratory pressure (OL-PEEP) following stepwise recruitment manoeuvre (RM) and those of a fixed PEEP of 5 cm H2O without previous RM on respiratory system compliance (Crs) and selected cardiovascular variables in healthy dogs under general anaesthesia. Forty-five healthy client-owned dogs undergoing surgery were anaesthetised and mechanically ventilated (tidal volume, VT = 10–12 mL/kg; PEEP = 0 cm H2O) for 1 min (baseline) and randomly allocated into zero positive end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP), PEEP (5 cm H2O) and OL-PEEP treatment groups. In the OL-PEEP group, a stepwise RM was performed and the individual OL-PEEP was subsequently applied. The Crs, heart rate (HR) and non-invasive mean arterial pressure (NIMAP) were registered at baseline and then every 10 min during 60 min.
In the ZEEP group, Crs decreased from baseline. In the PEEP group, Crs was not different from either baseline or ZEEP group values. In the OL-PEEP group, Crs was higher than both baseline and ZEEP group values at all time points as well as of those in the PEEP group during at least 20 min after RM. There were no differences for HR and NIMAP between groups. A clinically relevant hypotension following RM was observed in 40% of dogs. Therefore, an individually set OL-PEEP following stepwise RM improved Crs in anaesthetised healthy dogs, although transient but clinically relevant hypotension was observed during RM in some dogs. Fixed PEEP of 5 cm H2O without previous RM did not improve Crs, although it prevented it from decreasing.
